  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Voters in Nebraska will be put in the unusual position come Nov. 5 of voting on two competing pro-life and pro-abortion ballot measures, with major implications for abortion policy in the state. But Catholics are also being encouraged to review and consider another ballot measure unrelated to abortion.

The “Paid Sick Leave for Nebraskans”initiative qualified for the ballot in mid-August after a robust signature campaign, which was funded in large part by a national progressive group.

According to the measure’s campaign website, the ballot initiative would require all Nebraska businesses to offer their employees one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked — up to five days (40 hours) of paid sick leave per year for businesses with fewer than 20 employees, or seven days (56 hours) for businesses with 20 or more employees.
